The Party of "No"

Technorati and Me

Technorati is indexing me again! They had to make a code change to fix
the problem with my blog getting stuck in their queue. Kudos to Eric M.
and the guys at
GetSatisfaction.com
where they have "community powered support for Technorati".

Well, they're "sorta, kinda" indexing me anyway. It's on a 24 hour tape
delay or something. So I never get picked up by Memeorandum because they
pull from Technorati and Technorati has stuff I posted yesterday
listed as my latest blog entry. And that's old news to Memeorandum.

Wankers.

Every policeman is your friend. It's an axiom taught to countless children
in grade school. If you want to be safe you can always trust the police.

And until the advent of the TSA it's a statement that probably was true.

Researching this post I happened to come across a detailed picture of a woman
subjected to one of the TSA's new naked body scanners. At the same time my
nine year old daughter walked into the room. She exclaimed in surprise, that
lady is naked! Yes Sophie, she is. Every person who enters an airport
has to let a stranger see her naked. Even you.

Sophie freaked out. I don't blame her! We teach our children to keep their
bodies private. Yet to board an airplane they now have to surrender their
innocence and dignity to a uniformed officer of the United States government.

The policeman is your friend. Even if he wants to see you naked.
Pay no attention to that finger entering your vagina. He's keeping you
safe from terrorists!

The Wysocki family will never fly again. I will not subject my
daughter to a strip search by a glorified rent-a-cop. I don't care how
Janet Incompetano tries to justify it. It's unacceptable.

What scares me is that there are probably a lot of people who'll shrug
their shoulders and submit. What else can you do? We gotta get
to Disney World! It's only for a minute, what's the harm?

The harm is that we're being conditioned to accept the unacceptable.

Little by little citizens are surrendering their liberty to the state. Until
one day it seems perfectly reasonable for us to be herded off to internment
camps, for our own protection naturally. The terrorists are coming.
We'll be safe under the watchful eyes of Homeland Security.

Safety from external danger is the most powerful director of national conduct.
Even the ardent love of liberty will, after a time, give way to its dictates.
The violent destruction of life and property incident to war, the continual
effort and alarm attendant on a state of continual danger, will compel nations
the most attached to liberty to resort for repose and security to institutions
which have a tendency to destroy their civil and political rights. To be more
safe,...

A couple's newborn baby was kidnapped by Lawrence County Children and Youth
Services (LCCYS) because her mother recklessly consumed an "everything" bagel
from Dunkin' Donuts the day before the birth.

Poppy seeds on the bagel triggered a positive test for opiates in the mother's
urine. The uniforms knew what was best. The bond between mother and child is
no match for the maternalistic interest of the uniformed agents. The war on
drugs trumps your liberty.

Have you been subjected to a no-knock raid? Don't worry, you will. And again
you have no recourse. Wrong house? If you defend yourself against the uniforms
you're at fault.
Just ask Cory Maye.

The militarization of our police forces, ostensibly so they can effectively
wage the War on Drugs, is no accident. A militarized police can more easily
subjugate the civilian population. Of course the politicians are
afraid of us exercising our Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment
is all that's left between freedom and tyranny. Every time a government
functionary rails against "gun violence" what he's really doing is setting
the stage for confiscation of our firearms so he can tell us what's best
for us.

Gun control is premised on the proposition that the populace at large cannot be
trusted. According to the uniforms only properly trained law enforcement
personnel are qualifed to use guns. And use them they will, against us.

They are conditioning us to accept the unacceptable. When they come for our
children we will be unable, and quite frankly unwilling, to fight back. It's
easier to go along, just do what the man in the uniform says and everything
will be alright. The Nanny State has been reborn as The Fatherland.

America is now a police state. The policeman is not your friend.
The uniformed agents of our federal government are the enemies of freedom.
